330ml can from Monster and Beer, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a clear dark amber colour with a short-lived frothy off-white head. The aroma is malt, toffee caramel, red berry fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with smooth, fruity, light chocolate, spicy rum and oak palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. Tasty!

Bottle from Geers. Clear dark copper, lasting, foamy, tan head. Aroma of brioche, caramel, peanuts, red apple, pear, redcurrant, dried tea leaves. Taste has sweetish raisin, red grape and slightly sour redcurrant; caramel malt body, bit nutty with herbal bitter edges. Herbal hoppy finish, tea-like, nuts and dried red fruits. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Decent enough Red Ale with surprising depth.
